Option H is permanent and the old Wootton HS campus will be closed for good?

Also, it's becoming more and more obvious that Fallsmead/Lakewood care more about Wootton staying on the Parkway than keeping the cluster together. The North Potomac schools that don't really care about Option H have been quiet and going along with anti-H anyway, but now that it's clear no one cares about keeping them in the cluster hopefully they get more vocal about getting their kids into a safe school. Because this sudden change to "actually, we don't want repairs" doesn't help the kids.

Technically, Dufief, Travilah and Stone Mill may be closer to Crown HS than to Wootton HS. If they split Wootton like this by rezoning, pull out some to Crown and take some in to Wootton, both Crown HS and Wootton HS exist may work. I am sure Dufief would be fine with this option since they are not alone.

I would say when they build so many houses all over everywhere in MoCo, rezoning is unavoidable.

Yeah, I was looking at the map, that seems to be the case. Seems like Wootton should be folded into the Rockville System(s) for the families that are actually in Rockville.

It is really disingenuous to take families in Rockville, who are paying to Rockville taxes for Rockville amenities and ship them 3 miles away to Gaithersburg.

Pretty simple, take the outer county residents who bought into car commuting, send them to Crown their only issue is likely demographics. They knew what they were signing up for before they bought when it comes to car commuting. Leave the ones in Rockville at Wootton, fix the school with the light attendance, then rebalance Wootton, Richard Montgomery and Rockville High School as necessary.

Yes, it is all the affected neighborhoods would be in Rockville. You would need to rebalance the schools. RM is overcrowded and RHS is near capacity so it would make sense if they ended up back filling Wootton with a generally westward migration. RHS->RM->Wootton then a northward migration Wootton-> crown, but only in the outer county areas like Travilah.

Do you know how this works? Clearly not.

I like that idea though. The Wootton walkers are happy because they get the location and that’s clearly the only thing they care about. The more open-minded parts of the cluster go to the new school. Those are backfilled with overflow from RMHS and RHS who would be happy to go to Wootton (though it wouldn’t be “Wootton” anymore). Sounds like a win-win to me.

Wootton cannot have those students join their school as Wootton parents think they are inferior.

Wootton HS is picked instead of picking the other two W school mainly because it is located close to Crown HS and Wootton building is in unsafe condition. The other two W schools are more far away and they are in good shape for some years. And, Wootton HS is a MoCo public school, and it does not tie to any neighborhoods.

Agreed. You can’t say everything is racially-driven when Wootton has been an Asian-majority since at least the late 90s and mcps is only now looking at boundaries. And it’s not racially driven if the entire school was offered to move to a new building TOGETHER. and there are other schools with a different non-white majority NOT getting options for the boundary study. Is that racism, too? That’s an unintelligent argument when you live in a major melting pot and transient part of the country.

Are you talking about closing Wootton or just rezoning some to crown? They’re completely different issues

Replacing the Wootton building with the Crown building, and rezoning some to Gaithersburg and RM.

Wow at first it’s Wootton is just moved there
Then it’s we’re just adding crown
Then it became we are adding fields road
Then we need to rezone Dufief and cold spring
Now it’s rezone some to Gaithersburg and RM
We knew it. It’s not just moving Wootton to crown. It’s closing Wootton and spread Wootton assets around.

Boo hoo.

This is about the dumbest thing in this entire thread 🤣.

This boo hoo person legitimately just proved why H is a school closure, and thus illegal. What a dumb ass.

They have to pick a lane and they have already abandoned half their cluster who contributed to its reputation. You want the dumpy school on Wootton parkway? Then you risk boundaries being changed around you. But you can walk!

So you want the boundaries to make no geographical sense whatsoever? Clearly a fan of bussing kids. RM makes sense to redistrict some to Wootton. The neighborhoods that feed to RHS are too far away for it to make sense. They would pass two high schools on the way-which is the whole problem with this boundary study in the first place. If they just redraw all the boundaries when Crown opens they can make all the boundaries make more sense.

I'd rather have a bus to a close by new school where my kids aren't breathing in mold and other stuff every day but we aren't that lucky to be offered that.

Many kids are bussed from weird places to every school. Look at the boundaries. The problem is the schools aren't centrally located.

Yes that’s what I want. I want boundaries to make absolutely no sense and for kids to be bussed to Timbuktu and back. If we’re making assumptions, I assume you are in Wootton’s walk zone. Where a three-mile bus ride is “nonsensical” and once again proof of self-interest. How dare you take umbrage with “bussing” when everyone but you already busses to Wootton!!!! So obtuse. And one of woottons feeder schools drives past frost to get to cabin John. It is already happening. Maybe you all take a turn for once and stop thinking you’re the only neighborhood impacted by this.

Where a three-mile bus ride is “nonsensical” and once again proof of self-interest. How dare you take umbrage with “bussing” when everyone but you already busses to Wootton!!!! So obtuse. And one of woottons feeder schools drives past frost to get to cabin John. It is already happening. Maybe you all take a turn for once and stop thinking you’re the only neighborhood impacted by this.

That’s why i’m saying the boundaries need to be redrawn-because the kids shouldn’t be passing one school to get to another one. That was kind of my whole point that you seemed to have missed. All the moco boundaries need to be redrawn-not just the ones on the boundary study.

Also, it's becoming more and more obvious that Fallsmead/Lakewood care more about Wootton staying on the Parkway than keeping the cluster together. The North Potomac schools that don't really care about Option H have been quiet and going along with anti-H anyway, but now that it's clear no one cares about keeping them in the cluster hopefully they get more vocal about getting their kids into a safe school. Because this sudden change to "actually, we don't want repairs" doesn't help the kids.

Technically, Dufief, Travilah and Stone Mill may be closer to Crown HS than to Wootton HS. If they split Wootton like this by rezoning, pull out some to Crown and take some in to Wootton, both Crown HS and Wootton HS exist may work. I am sure Dufief would be fine with this option since they are not alone.

I would say when they build so many houses all over everywhere in MoCo, rezoning is unavoidable.

Yeah, I was looking at the map, that seems to be the case. Seems like Wootton should be folded into the Rockville System(s) for the families that are actually in Rockville.

It is really disingenuous to take families in Rockville, who are paying to Rockville taxes for Rockville amenities and ship them 3 miles away to Gaithersburg.

Pretty simple, take the outer county residents who bought into car commuting, send them to Crown their only issue is likely demographics. They knew what they were signing up for before they bought when it comes to car commuting. Leave the ones in Rockville at Wootton, fix the school with the light attendance, then rebalance Wootton, Richard Montgomery and Rockville High School as necessary.

Yes, it is all the affected neighborhoods would be in Rockville. You would need to rebalance the schools. RM is overcrowded and RHS is near capacity so it would make sense if they ended up back filling Wootton with a generally westward migration. RHS->RM->Wootton then a northward migration Wootton-> crown, but only in the outer county areas like Travilah.

Do you know how this works? Clearly not.

I like that idea though. The Wootton walkers are happy because they get the location and that’s clearly the only thing they care about. The more open-minded parts of the cluster go to the new school. Those are backfilled with overflow from RMHS and RHS who would be happy to go to Wootton (though it wouldn’t be “Wootton” anymore). Sounds like a win-win to me.

Wootton cannot have those students join their school as Wootton parents think they are inferior.

They have to pick a lane and they have already abandoned half their cluster who contributed to its reputation. You want the dumpy school on Wootton parkway? Then you risk boundaries being changed around you. But you can walk!

So you want the boundaries to make no geographical sense whatsoever? Clearly a fan of bussing kids. RM makes sense to redistrict some to Wootton. The neighborhoods that feed to RHS are too far away for it to make sense. They would pass two high schools on the way-which is the whole problem with this boundary study in the first place. If they just redraw all the boundaries when Crown opens they can make all the boundaries make more sense.

What does it matter? Particularly once you get out of the walk zone. There's no reason to limit things to the closest schools. That just leads people to not care about the quality of the district as a whole.

I think if they had to pick between crown and wootton... Besides it's pretty obvious the people care more about distance than rankings. EG the outer county residents are more or less fine with crown, because it's closer or about the same, or in some cases, they already drive 6+ miles so they're already prepared for commuting 7miles. It's the people that weren't planning on driving an hour everyday just to get to drop offs(30min each way in city traffic).

The walk zone for most high schools is 2 miles.
